LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024, "The House of the Dutch" is an exhilarating tale of twisted desire, histories, and homes, and the unexpected shape of revenge. Set in 1961, the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is recovering from the war, with bomb craters filled, buildings reconstructed, and a sense of normalcy returning. Isabel's life is disrupted when her brother Louis brings his new girlfriend, Eva, to stay with her for the season. Eva's presence unsettles Isabel, and she develops a fury-fuelled obsession when things start disappearing around the house. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel's paranoia gives way to desire, leading to a discovery that unravels everything she has ever known. The war might not be over, and neither Eva nor the house are what they seem. "The House of the Dutch" is a razor-sharp, perfectly plotted debut novel that has received critical acclaim. Tracy Chevalier, the bestselling author of "Girl with a Pearl Earring," describes it as "moving, unnerving, and deeply sexy." The Guardian calls it an "impressive debut," and Van der Woudens' next book is eagerly anticipated.
